Question

-3m+11=2m-14
solve for m

Answer 1

m = 5

Explanation:

−3m + 11 = 2m − 14

Subtract 2m from both sides.

−3m + 11 − 2m = −14

Combine −3m and −2m to get −5m.

−5m + 11 = −14

Subtract 11 from both sides.

−5m = −14 −11

Subtract 11 from −14 to get −25.

−5m = −25

Divide both sides by −5.

m = −25 /-5

​Divide −25 by −5 to get 5.

m = 5

Answer 2

m=5

Explanation:

Add 3m3m to both sides.

11=2m-14+3m11=2m−14+3m

2 Simplify 2m-14+3m2m−14+3m to 5m-145m−14.

11=5m-1411=5m−14

3 Add 1414 to both sides.

11+14=5m11+14=5m

4 Simplify 11+1411+14 to 2525.

25=5m25=5m

5 Divide both sides by 55.

m=5m=5
